The North East Somerset MP appears to have attracted quite the following on social media in the last year.

Last month Jacob Rees-Mogg started trending on Twitter after interrupting Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn during the Queen’s speech debate – an act for which he was chastised by Speaker John Bercow for raising unnecessary points of order.

Previously the MP has shied away from social media and denied he was behind the @JakeReesMogg but he recently set up an Instagram account, which has caused a stir and projected the backbench MP into a weird state of internet stardom.

With just 27 posts and following only five people Rees-Mogg has amassed a following of 21,500 followers on the popular social media platform.

Somerset Live takes a look at the five times that possibly the most unlikely internet star took over the web and the foundation of building #Moggmentum (yes that's a thing).

The creation of Moggwave, an electronic dance music inspired by Jacob Rees-Mogg, the Tory MP. Someone has taken the time to mix in clips of the MP speaking with electronic music and the result is altogether something else.

His Instagram account - 21,500 followers while only following 5 people? Yep - even if people have followed him simply to troll those are some impressive stats by anyone's standards.

The creation of this Facebook group might be to blame for some of the father of five's online fame www.facebook.com/MoggMemes/ its 16 moderators range in age from 16 to 20 and are spread across the UK and Canada. But there are dozens of Facebook pages devoted to Rees-Mogg - the biggest have tens of thousands of likes.

A grass roots movement to get him to run for Prime Minister. If you search for Rees-Mogg on Twitter one of the first things you'll notice is the use of hashtags such as #Moggmentum and #JRM4PM This account @magicalmogg seems particularly keen on getting the local level MP noticed and into number 10.

Speeches like this one appear to go down particularly well with his fans.

What does the MP think of his new found fame? In a recent interview with the BBC he admitting to being 'a late convert to social media' but added that it has been great fun. What do you think? Will #Moggmentum catch on and could the North East Somerset MP be the next PM? Well he seems to be firmly behind Theresa May telling national media that he fully supports her.
